Description
A delightful and nutritious meal featuring marinated grilled chicken, sautéed broccoli, and a rich creamy garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing broccoli)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by combining soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl, then add the chicken breasts. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the broccoli florets for approximately 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, remaining minced garlic, soy sauce, and any leftover marinade. Heat through until warm but not boiling.
- Slice the grilled chicken and assemble the bowls with sautéed broccoli, topped with chicken slices and creamy garlic sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Rest the chicken before slicing for juicier meat. Feel free to adjust garlic levels in the sauce.
